I followed the recipe but my brownies ended up really dry. Maybe my oven is too hot? I don’t know but I was disappointed. 🙁
Maybe you put in too much flour? It can happen! Just follow the measurements precisely. And yeah, ovens can be tricky sometimes! Good luck next time!
I think your oven might be the issue, but you could also try reducing the baking time a bit. Brownies should be fudgy, not dry! Don’t lose hope; you can nail it next time! 😊
These brownies are the best! Super fudgy and that chocolatey goodness is to die for. My whole family loved them, especially the kids with the M&Ms!
I think these brownies would be good with nuts too. Just saying! Don’t hate me, but the M&Ms seem unnecessary. Just stick with plain chocolate!
